These are the first 2 pics I took with my new Konica Electron [the sunroom and the lantern in our garden]. I bought this vintage camera [1969] from a guy who had spread out a blanket loaded with vintage cameras in Inokashira Koen last month. We got talking and I asked him which one was his favourite. He motioned the Electron. I asked how much. He told me ¥2000. I pulled out my purse and handed out 2 ¥1000 notes. He only pulled one of them and smiled: "No, make it ¥1000."
I am so happy with this lovely camera, great prints. After I ran this test roll of colour, I went out and bought a pack of TRI-X black and white, can't wait to see the first roll.
Am I scanning them too dark?

A little dark maybe... but the bottom one of the sunroom is awesome. How'd you end up with such an amazing place??!!

Yeah, we're lucky gals to be living here. Looking forward to watching the 4 seasons roll by through the windows of the sun room.
Anne, glad you like the darkness. I would like to see them on a PC and see just how much darker they are.

And i don't think the piccys look too dark, lovely soft fuzzy edges.
